The Queen was welcomed by the foundation's chairman Carl-Gustaf Piehl. The Queen then presented the foundation's Jubilee Medal to former chairman Sten Svensson, who chaired the foundation from 1999 until 2012. The Queen presented diplomas to the 34 paediatric research scholarship recipients. Dr Björn Nordlund then gave a talk about his thesis on severe asthma among school children, and Dr Isabelle de Monestrol spoke about her research into cystic fibrosis in children. The Queen is the foundation's Supreme Patron, and has taken part in the annual scholarship presentation ceremony since 1995.
